Default Texas reopens to 100%, rescinds mask mandate

I probably don't vote like you. But not every Democrat voter is hard left, just like not ever Conservative voter is hard right. I am admittedly center left and I get along just fine with my friends and neighbors - even if we ribbed each other about the election a bit.

We've got to get past this dilemma where social media is forcing us all to retreat to our own little echo chambers and fight one another over every little thing. We are all Americans. There are a few areas we differ on how we think the country should be run, but at the end of the day that's how the Republic was designed. Each side keeps the other in check.

I've got friends who voted for every candidate and who disagree with me on masks, gay marriage, guns, the environment, health care, and taxes... but they're still my friends. I'd never talk about them with the venom being displayed here for every supporter of one party or another.

Go have a cold one with your buddy who rides the bike. I'm betting you have more in common than that which divides you.

It's just a pale blue dot after all.

It’s definitely social media and the opinion hours of mainstream media that plays a big role in dividing everyone. Everyone online has a voice now, as if they matter. They just regurgitate talking points from the talking heads on the screen. Probably best thing to do is stop with the opinion hours and cancel that propaganda website and instead try to find common ground.

The problem is, your idea of common ground is when everybody agrees with YOU.

If I agreed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I don’t think Knob has figured that out yet.

He posted at one time that the media’s job is to portray reality.

Which just kind if shows hot out of touch he is with ACTUAL REALITY.

I don't know if you're joking, or if you're just a joke. But this post broke my irony detector.

You know he is right. And it is not irony.

The irony is lost on you it seems.

GeeWiz says that liberals will only agree when there's no compromises, at the same time offering no compromises. This forum is beyond hypocrisy and parody.
